LIVE NOW, PAY LATER
Title song from the film "Live Now, Pay Later" (1962)
(Ruth Batchelor / Clive Westlake)


Studio Chorus (Film Soundtrack) - 1962





You can have a mink coat
You can have a dream boat
What good is gold when you're ninety years old
Live now, pay later

You can have a diamond ring (Let's buy a diamond ring)
You can have most anything (Why worry, why worry)
Why should you cry over things you can't buy
Live now, pay later

Maybe you'll pay tomorrow
But today take all that you can borrow
The best things in life are not all free
Let's go on a spending spree

You can have the world now (We'll take the world now)
The oyster and the pearl now (We'll take the pearl now)
Take all you can from the never-never man
Live now, pay later

You can have a mink coat (We'll take the mink coat)
You can have a dream boat (We'll take the dream boat)
Why should we wait till it's all too late
Live now, pay later

Maybe you'll pay tomorrow
But today take all that you can borrow
The best things in life are not all free
Let's go on a spending spree

Why should we wait till it's all too late
Live now, pay later

Maybe you'll pay tomorrow
But today take all that you can borrow
The best things in life are not all free
Let's go on a spending spree

You can have the world now
The oyster and the pearl now
Take all you can from the never-never man
Live now, pay later
